Salman was yesterday sentenced to five years imprisonment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the over 12-year-old case when his Toyota Land Cruiser ran over five people sleeping on the pavement outside American Express bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one person and wounding four.

Abhijeet criticised the court's verdict and blamed the homeless for the 49-year-old star's current plight with comments like 'footpaths are not for sleeping'.

Small time actor Ajaz Khan, who appeared on Salman's hosted "Bigg Boss", also found the verdict unfair.
